PermalinkBig heart, small practice
By Alex Jimenez
Mark Twain once said, “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” Twain wasn’t just talking about dogs, of course, but the description sure is a fitting one for pet owners looking for a veterinary practice to fit their needs.
Any veterinary practice—be it large or small—can offer the best of everything: a personalized touch, state-of-the-art facilities and advanced care. That means owners can find what they are looking for and what they feel fits their pets needs.
Katy Trail Animal Hospital is one of those little... Read more.

Going corporate but maintaining personality
Denver clinic keeps its local flavor
Not much has changed at the former Firehouse Park Hill Animal Health Center since becoming a Vet Center of America (VCA) owned and operated practice. And that’s a good thing.
Many staff and clients were concerned that the Denver-based clinic would be drastically altered when VCA, which owns more than 520 animal hospitals across the nation, took it over in May 2010. But more than a year later, most have been pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Much of VCA’s success stems from their adopting an... Read more.

Dedicated veterinarian devotes career to easing end-of-life decisions
By Alex Jimenez
For many pet owners, deciding when and how to let their best friend go is the hardest decision they will ever make.

In the eyes of Dr. Alice Villalobos, the choice doesn’t have to be so black and white.
